Ecological Engineering has an open access mirror journal Ecological Engineering: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is meant for ecologists who, because of their research interests or occupation, are involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and can serve as a bridge between ecologists and engineers.Specific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper.The journal welcomes full papers, short communications, reviews, and letters to the editor. We are pleased to publish papers from multidisciplinary approaches that are pertinent to a wide range of scholars, managers, practitioners, and policymakers across ecological sciences.All papers will be subject to peer review and they will be dealt with as speedily as is compatible with a high standard of presentation.

《生態工程》擁有開放獲取的鏡像期刊《生態工程:X》，目標和范圍相同，編輯團隊、投稿系統和嚴格的同行評審。生態工程被定義為為了人類和自然的共同利益而設計的生態系統。該雜志是為生態學家而設，因為他們的研究興趣或職業，參與設計、監測或恢復生態系統，并可以作為生態學家和工程師之間的橋梁。該雜志涵蓋的具體主題包括:生境重建;生態技術;合成生態;生物工程;恢復生態學;生態保護;生態系統恢復;河流修復;復墾生態;保護不可再生資源。只有在為當前的研究增加新穎性和強調生態系統恢復的背景下，才可以接受對生態工程具體應用的描述。我們不接受純粹的描述性報告生態系統結構(如植被調查),純粹的物理評估材料,可用于生態修復、小模型研究在實驗室進行或與人工溫室(浪費)水或作物研究或案例研究傳統廢水處理和富營養化,不提供一個生態系統恢復方法在紙上。雜志歡迎全文、簡短的交流、評論和給編輯的信件。我們很高興發表來自多學科方法的論文，這些論文涉及生態科學領域的廣泛學者、管理者、實踐者和決策者。所有的論文都將接受同行評審，并將在符合高標準的情況下盡快處理。
